THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
TIE COMPANY a TnrspAssEn
In Erecting It's Poles and Wires Through
tho. streets-A Legal Opinion Rendered
by Solicitor Caldwell by Request OF
the Hoard Of Gas Trustees.

- -.H|..h WI. N'.HH.|. NH#N# e.. III ..#n..f H..
The City Board Of Gas Trustees recently
called upon. City Solicitor George D. Cald.
we'll for o legal opinion upon the right Of
the Wheeling Electrical Company to erect
and maintain in the streets poles and
wires for the purpose Of furnishing electric
lights to citizens. Col. Caldwell yester.
day Aled with The Board at It's Office In the
Public Building his written opinion.
lie takes the position that tho company
in erecting its line through tho streets
proceeded without legal warrant. The
City Council several years ago passed IN
ordinance granting to a firm Of gentlemen
the right to erect a ByBtem Of wirea and
poles ior electric lighting. This ordi.
nance prescribed that the poles erected
must DO straight and symmetrical, and not
less than twenty-five feet high, and that
they should be painted black to a height
Of eight feet above the ground and white
the rest Of the way up. This firm went
out OF business, and was succeeded by the
Wheeling Electrical Company. The pres.
ent company Is operating under the char.
ter Of that company, but Ia composed Of
different gentlemen.
These facts Col. Caldwell ~recites in hii
opinion. Ho holds that the franchise
granted to the original firm was In the
nature Of a contract between that firm
and the city, and that It's obligations could
not be transferred by m party without
the consent OF the other. Therefore the
franchise could not pass to the corporation
which succeeded to the buBiness Of tbs
copartnerahip without the express act O.
the city, in the absence Of any provision
Of law that such franchise should pass
Besides this, the view is suggested that
tho franchise originally granted has been
forfeited by the company's failure to com.
ply with tho stipulation as to tho sym
metry Of tho poles, etc.
The formal opinion is made as favorable
to the Electrical Company as the iac.t
above atated permit, and Col. Caldwell
told an INTELLldRNcER reporter yesterday
that as a member OF Council he would
vote, we're the question to be raised, tc
grant the company the requisite franchise
for the maintenance and extension Of theil
lines.
The question will doubtless be raised q,
the next meeting OF Council by O report
from the Gas Trustees, based on the So
%licitor's opinion.
